Shiao Li and Bao Bao



Bao Bao, the youngest of all the Wu children, loved his Ah Yi more than anyone in the world. In fact he adored Shiao Li. This feeling, he described to his wife many years later, was more urgent than love. He went on to declare that the years he had spent tied to his nanny's back were the happiest of his whole life.

  3. Beautiful. I love the way he looks adoringly up at her. This is exactly why I can't bear to give my Q up to daycare at this tender age...I want her to remember this time of spending life "tied to my back"...figuratively if not always literally.
